@Ponderable thankfully they have now been booted, i read a call earlier for Scotland to allow Ukraine to advance, can't see that happening, though not sure what will happen as a large number of the Ukrainan team are still in Ukraine

Thank ful we can be. It is difficult to find a good solution for the Ukrainian team. I agree.
Newest devleopment, after the schedule ahs been agreed on and been published on 1st of April now it came to ind of the officials in Qatar that they want the opening game....So the tournament might be extended by a day...
@ponderablesaid At east in France the boycott movement is strengthening...lets see how it all will trun out.
They're not going to set up fan zones, makes sense for a winter world cup.
10 years ago it was clear Qatar should not be hosting a world cup, but here we are with it about to start in 6 weeks or so. Will be interesting to see if the stadiums are full with traveling fans, or maybe they'll give a bunch of tickets to the migrant workers who built the stadiums. Maybe the families of those who died making them might even get an extra ticket.
I'll watch it, it's still the world cup but companies who are sponsoring it and people like David Beckham who are promoting it should be ashamed of themselves.

If your company was predicted to make thousands or more dollars from a sponsorship deal,wouldn't you give it a go?
Same applies to individuals who will be paid for their input.
As I've said before,it's all about money.
The only way to stop the rich getting richer on the proceeds is not to watch it in Qatar or on TV/internet but they know that will not happen.
You say yourself that you will watch it so you are feeding the companies and individuals
